Questions about this item:
Shopper how much line does this come with ?
TIMOTHY S When you go to buy it you have to "select size" with a length of either 150 feet or 290 feet.
Shopper Can the Handle be remove?
VAUGHN P Yes, it is attached to a bracket by a nut and bolt or two. Can't remember exactly how. I had to remove the handle for my application, so I am certain.
ROBERT E this is not a finger spool, this is a heavy duty tool.
BRAD K Yes. The handle is held on by two bolts. The clip on the reel is attached with the same two bolts so you could remove the handle and/or the back clip.
LAUNCH I Yes, the handle can be removed. The handle is attached with two phillips head screws and two lock nuts.
TIMOTHY S Yes you can. 2 phillips head screws holding it on
RON L The handle is attached to the reel with 2ea. screws and self -locking nuts with the proper tools it could be easily removed
ROBERT B No...plus not worth the buy. I brought a more expensive reel that works better.
RICHARD C Yes - you'll need a Phillips head screw driver and a small crescent wrench to remove 2 screws/nuts
BRIAN D The handle is permanently attached and can't easily be removed
Tyler R Could this reel be used to tow a dive flag instead of those line holders?
JOHN C I bought it to hook on and tow our flag and float. It works geat and I love it.Jack C
JANET A This is more for a guidance line as in exploring a wreck. It is a bit thin and not as easy to manipulate as a thicker flag line on a flag line holder. With the flag you loop off a few feet of line then put a few back on as you go up and down. With this reel, we wind it out and then all the way back in on the return.
BRIAN T yes that is what i use mine for. thanks
PAUL M This is a top quality reel that I've used on wreck dives many times and I don't see any reason why this reel could not be used to tow a dive flag. It has a skip setting which would work great because as you descend the reel will let out line gradually without birds nesting. Hope this helps. Paul.
FRANK D Yes. It has a locking mechanism. I use it for lift bags and it holds me at safety stops so I do not see an issue.
RON L I am sure you could could use the Highland XS Scuba Reel for many things, towing a diver down flag being one: I enjoy this reel every time it is used on a dive.
BRAD K Yes. This is exactly what I use to tow my dive flag. I find it easier and more compact than the plastic line holders. It makes for a great line to attach your scallop bag to with the flag so that it can be hauled to the surface when you are finished..
TIMOTHY S I think that it would work fine... I use it for towing a safety sausage now and then. It's a great reel.
Justin F What is the size of this product? Is it bulky?
STACEY P Its not bulky at all, fits in your hand. Its a great reel, easy to hold on to
RON L This Reel is bigger than a finger reel, spread your fingers it is as big as your hand and is 2 inches deep.
DAN T The real is 6 1/4 inches from the bottom of the reel to the top of the handle, and 5 inches front to back. I love this reel, it has a ratchet, lock and free spin options. It also has enough room between the reel and handle if you had to wear gloves. I just wish I had bought this in a bigger size.
LARRY K I liked the quality and finish, but returned it for the smaller:
Aluminum Reel with Tension & Locking system (blue frame)
Approx. the same price.
Lars
BRIAN D The reel itself is approximately 4" in diameter 2" wide, the handle sticks out a bit more. Overall the dimensions are reasonable, it is not massive. I clip mine to a lower D ring on the shoulder strap of the harness of my BCD near the waist belt, making it assessable but streamlined. The swivel clip allows the reel to move freely and I don't notice it at all once it is on. I use it for low vis diving and to send up my SMB. The locking mechanism does not allow single handed operation in my experience but is simple enough to use. The build quality is very good and it is a great value for the money.
KEN B the 290' is about the size of my hand(4x6) and maybe two inches wide.fits in my bc if needed or attached. no problems.
ROBERT A Depends on what you consider bulky. The handle adds some size to it, but it has never gotten in my way diving, normally clipped to my BC when not in use. I used this during my Cavern Diver certification and it proved to be a very good reel. I highly recommend it!
JENNIFER H I would say it is good sized but easy to handle while diving.. When clipped on your lower BCD D-rings it does not get in the way. The reel part itself is about 3 inches in diameter. From the edge of the reel to the handle is about inch and a half. handle fots in your hand great and the clicking feature really helps prevent a free spool.
Kali K What is the maximum weight capacity of this reel? Would it be ideal to use with a 10 lb anchor on a kayak?
LARRY K I have no doubts the reel can handle a 10 lbs anchor. My concern is about the physics of lifting 10 lbs. using such a small reel. It will be a major task to crank up the weight with the line so close to the center. A larger diameter reel would be much easier to reel in. Overall quality is excellent; worth the money.
LARRY K I have doubt the reel will handle a 10 anchor, my concern would the physics involved. The reel is small making reeling the anchor up a major task. Were the reel larger it would be much easier. Overall excellenet quality...worth teh price.
LUKE S Hi there. I have owned 2 of these for about a year and based on what I have seen I would NOT recommend them for use with an anchor. I mean, technically yes, the line would support that weight but the reel is meant for flying a surface mark or flag and for use as a guideline. The line is fairly thin and would eventually break from the abrasion of being used for an anchor (even a small 10lb. one). And the tell itself would be awkward and difficult to wind with that kind of dead weight hanging off of it. If you really want a reel for your anchor spend a more and get a Manta Rescue Reel with 60 # line. Way thicker and stronger line and way better build on the reel itself. Of course it is 3 times the money but you get what you pay for. Hope that helps.
JENNIFER H I do not think the reel would be strong enough to lift a 10lbs anchor; I think it could hold the weight but not lift the weight efficiently.
MIGUEL M No dude better to use a rope for that the reel is good quality, but wont hold a kayak the line will break. Dont trust your kayak to any reel, use a rope and a small bag to carry it, unless you use paracord or a kevlar line with your reel and remember to rinse it every time you use it, and inspect for any cuts on the line. If you have any other question feel free to ask me, I diver and kayak, I always look for the best quality products. "Take care of your gear and the gear will take care of you"
PAUL M Hi there. This is a top quality reel. I used this reel just last wknd to deploy SMBs at depth. No problems at all. It works really well in skip mode. I don't see any reason why this reel couldn't lift 10lbs or more. It may be a little tiring though reeling in if the anchor is at a good depth. Over all a great reel.
Shopper Why Did You Choose This?
ROBERT E wonderful reel at a fair price
STACEY P Its the perfect size, has a bright yellow line for good visibility and easy to use
